You recently  deployment in UNILAG, let us know about it?

We visited UniLag and introduced our Proprietary software for Law Students and it was given an LPO for large supply. We basically want to make learning easier for Nigerian law students that was why we developed such a solution for them and what we have seen the acceptance is encouraging.

Yes Organizations and Tertiary institutions including Polytechnics down to secondary schools have widely accepted it, as we have the best solutions to easiest way to pass ICAN Exams. We as an IT firm is constantly asking critical questions on how we can improve the lots of the society especially the Nigerian students . the ICAN solution looked at accounting, accountancy and booking keeping as a subject. We made learning these courses easier for students from secondary school where these courses are offered all the way to tertiary institution be it Universities or Polytechnics, we all covered all the areas of accounting to professional level which is ICAN (Institute of Charted Accountants of Nigeria) and the professional body is impressed with this software.

The Nigerian antivirus software market is dominated wholly by foreign products. Ours is to find ways to start changing the narrative and bringing our indigenous solutions to the fore. We have also observed the capital flight that occurs as a result of buying this software, we want to make the desired impact in the market.

What are the challenges’ that you face as an IT Firm in Nigeria?

We face challenges from power supply and conducive working environment, we currently have found a temporary solution to the power supply as our technical department have developed and constructed a temporary engine to power all our systems. We have to look inward to solve some of these things.

Do you think that the Nigerian government is doing much to support indigenous IT Firms like yours?

Well for now the IT firms in Nigeria is not many and the Government seems not to concentrate on that part of Information Technology , I might be wrong but we are yet to see concrete efforts on the side of the regulators of IT to protect indigenous firms in Nigeria. We have operated under a strenuous IT environment and we pray that the government give us some level of concessions in terms of services and projects.

You have a launch this month, tell us more about this?

We want to launch a Law School Software called ENLAWS – EASE TO NIGERIAN LAW SCHOOL CBT SOFTWARE, ICAN PRO-FOUNDATION and LEARNING WITH TOBIAS all these are used in Organizations so we plan to make the public have a proper look at the functions and benefits which on the launch day we will talk about.
